"Innovative Capability and Financing Constraints for Innovation: More
Money, More Innovation?"
Review of Economics and Statistics 94(4), 1126-1142.

The data used in this paper are property of the Centre for European
Economic Research (ZEW), Mannheim (Germany).
Therefore we cannot provide the data for the RESTAT archive to be accessed online.

The data are held at the ZEW Mannheim (www.zew.de), and are
known as "Mannheim Innovation Panel".
 

ZEW makes the data collected in the Mannheim Innovation Panel available  
for interested researchers via two channels:

a) Researchers can obtain a scientific use file (via email or DVD). 
This public use file is a factual anonymized dataset 
that can be used for econometric analyses. 
The anonymization method is decribed in Gottschalk (2004).
Together with the data, ZEW provides the survey questionnaire(s) and supplemental material for download.

b) If researchers intend to use the original data, they can make an
appointment at ZEW to access the original unanonymized database there at the 
ZEW Research Data Centre (http://kooperationen.zew.de/en/zew-fdz/home.html).

In both cases data access is free of charge. 

Researchers, however, are first required to sign a data usage contract with the ZEW.
Currently, over 240 researchers in Germany and abroad have signed data usage contracts. 

The contact person for data access is:

Dr. Sandra Gottschalk,

Moreover, we have archived the data and program codes for this paper on the
ZEW network, so that interested researchers can access the sample
used for this paper to replicate the regression results, once they
have signed the data usage contract with the ZEW.

We have used Stata 11.2 on Windows 7 to run the program.
To replicate the results presented in the paper the main STATA do-file "MS13690_stata_code" 
needs to be excecuted. 
The stata program includes data preparation, regressions and descriptive statistics (see comments
in the do-file).
The variables used are described at the beginning of the do-file as well.

 

We also attach a log file that provides the original results 
as produced by this program. The results are presented in the order of the paper and numbered respectivly.
The do-file also contains a variable description part in the beginning.
